Looking for help to invite educators to #140edu

Looking for your help - please help invite educators to #140edu

Today I am reaching out to the greater #140conf community and I am asking for a favor...I need your help to invite educators to join us at #140edu (http://140edu.com) taking place next week, August 2-3 in New York City. I would greatly appreciated it if you could take a moment and forward this email to your friends involved in education. Please also include any friends who are parents who live in the metro NYC / NJ area.Back in March I reached out to Chris Lehmann, Principal, Science Leadership Academy in Philadelphia and together we decided to put on an event to take on an issue of our generation...Education. Personally I am very excited about the people who are speaking at our inaugural #140edu which includes a variety of: students, teachers, administrators and parents. You can review the speakers over at: http://edu2011.140conf.com/speakers-2Thanks to the #140conf community, I was able to curate what I believe will be a great two day conference. You can review the schedule over at: http://edu2011.140conf.com/schedule. This the first event of it's kind to explore how the real-time web is effecting education and a chance to catch up with some of the educators who are leading the charge and bringing change to education.My remaining challenge is to do everything I can to make sure as many people as possible who have a vested interest in the future of education become aware of this conference.
This is where you come in. With your help, I believe anything becomes possible.
The event pricing is optimized to bring together educators and students and the education industry. The cost to attend this two-day conference for educators is only $1.40; students $15 and for everyone else, just $140. To register, please visit: http://140edu.com/register
My hope is to bring together the most diverse community of people who are passionate about the state of education.
If you have a vested interest in the future of education, please make it a point to join us in NYC next week.

Best regards, Jeff
